Irish loanwords, called ''clèm Ȝagmìje'' (from ''{{ayin}}aǧamiyya'' 'foreign' → 'Irish', maqām ʕaǧam in Irta also comes from Irish music) | Irish loanwords, called ''clèm Ȝagmìje'' (from ''{{ayin}}aǧamiyya'' 'foreign' → 'Irish', maqām ʕaǧam in Irta also comes from Irish music), comprise over half of Majorcan vocabulary. Besides Irish, Majorcan has borrowed from French, [[Hyperfrench|Nyvierfusiez]] and English. Some Irish vocabulary in Majorcan, called ''Nùa-Ȝagmìje'' 'neo-<i>Ȝagmìje</i>', are in fact coinages by Majorcans. It's the only Irtan Semitic language that evolved naturally under Celtic influence ([[Knench]] is more Azalic-influenced, and Irta Modern Hebrew was revived by Celtic speakers). Majorcan is somewhat mutually intelligible with many Irta Neo-Arabic languages. | ||
